Im turned 23 in May and I am getting sleeved July 12th 2010. Just in time for my 5 year class reunion. (don't know if I want to go yet or not)

I am so happy to hear your story. I am going to see Dr. Rod on July 12, 2010 and I have a question for you. My sister is coming with me and I was wondering how your friends stay was. Is there Internet there? Did your phone work? Will she have to leave for food? Did you need extra cash for anything besides meds? Please anything advice would be welcomed!

I set my date to July 12th so I can't wait to hear how yours goes!

What you got the 9th!?!? Dang it! I will be there the the day you leave July 12.. Please please let me know how things go. I am getting the super sleeve. I really wish I had got the 9th but it was full.

My Sleeve Plication surgery is scheduled for July 12, 2010 at The Hospital Star Medica with Dr. Jose Rodriguez. Is anyone else going at the same time? Does anyone have any advice? Has anyone else ever been there or been to the same Dr?

That sounds pretty awesome! I have made the choice to get the super sleeve and I just got my, "You have been approved for surgery" letter!! YAH.. If you still talk to anyone that did get the surgery I would love to hear from them if you could tell them about me. I cant have the surgery until Sept 1st due to that being the only time I can give myself two weeks to get back to normal BUT if I dont need that long maybe I can get it done sooner.. PS back to normal means watching three boys that are 5, 4, and 3 five days a week..

Have you had your surgery yet? I am getting the super sleeve Sept 1, 2010 with dr. rod Please let me know what you ended up doing..

I got my, "You have been approved for surgery" letter today! YAH!! I am getting the super sleeve which from what I have read is the same thing as what you have the Gastric Imbrecation. How is it going so far? Are you happy with it? I am planning to have mine done in Sept.

Will you let me know how it goes? Did you use a company to book everything? Are you getting a sleeve? What is your cost?

I plan to go to Dr. Jose Rodriguez at Star Medica Hospital in Juarez Mexico and I was wanting to talk to people that have been there or plan to go there. Any info would be very helpful! Also I plan to go there the first of Sept so if you are going that same time let me know.

I am talking to BeLiteWeight.com about having a Super Sleeve (Gastric Imbrication) done in at Star Medica Hospital, 15 mins across the border from El Paso, Texas in Juarez, Mexico by Dr. Jose Rodriguez. The cost is $6200 for everything. Has anyone gotten the super sleeve done or know of anyone that has. OR Has anyone worked with this company or Doctor or even hospital? Can I trust them?

Wow you girls are so helpful! I have been looking online for hours and not found close to what you just gave me.. They also do the normal sleeve but I guess I was scared to have a part of my stomack cut off :S

What hospital did you go to? What dr did you use? What was your cost? I am planning on going in Aug but I am every confused after reading something on here on what dr I need to just and what campany I should use to go to mexico..

I am thinking about getting the super sleeve and have Dr. Jose Rodriguez do it. How did yours go? What was the process like? Who did you use to book with Dr. Rod? Has anyone heard anything about the super sleeve also known as Laparoscopic total gastric vertical plication (TGVP)?

Has anyone gotten the super sleeve done or know of anyone that has. OR Has anyone worked with this company or Doctor or even hospital? Can I trust them with my money and more importantly my life? Here is the Info they gave me on the super sleeve: What is super sleeve? Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is not as simple as any other gastrectomy. Gastric tube size influences both the degree of weight loss and weight stability. A large sleeve predisposes to gastric dilatation (stretching) and weight regain. Inexperienced surgeons tend to create large tubes (:thumbup: or to leave back large remnants of the gastric fundus. A standardized technique with a gastric capacity less than 100 ml (A) is mandatory in order to get the patient to achieve a durable weight loss. The sleeve should be super which means a small gastric sleeve diameter and a higher degree of restriction. With the gastric capacity being restricted to 60-80gr and Ghrelin (the appetite hormone) totally suppressed, the resultant weight loss is predictable and comparable to those achieved with gastric by-pass (60-70% EWL), without any serious complication or side effects (e.g. Vitamin mal-absorption). We believe the Super Sleeve to be a very effective and safe bariatric solution even for super-obese patients.
